Gay Fitness: The Elusive Travel Workout!

Everybody travels. Well, most people travel. Be it for work, pleasure, vacation, epic adventuring… most people leave the comfort of their personal bubble to visit another location. It might be for a couple days, a few weeks, or months at a time, but regardless the length of time it usually means certain death for our workout routines; they get thrown out the window.

If you work out in a gym, suddenly you don’t have access to all that precious equipment. If you run around the neighborhood, suddenly you have to run… somewhere else. The list goes on.

For the fitness oriented, we’re used to adapting to varying routines, and can most likely improvise workouts with little to no equipment at our disposal. But for those just starting a new, more fitness-focused approach to life, a simple trip two states away can throw away all the progress they’ve made. I can’t count the number of times a client or gym member has asked me how to keep their workouts going while they travel.

So I’ve made a list. Let this be a quick introduction, if you will, to working out on the go. The list is broken out into workouts you can complete with just your body weight, workouts you can complete if you have access to a pull-up bar, and finally workouts you can complete with access to a jump rope, rings, and/or a pull-up bar.
